Shen Teng’s new movie Once Upon a Time in the Middle East, a story centered around a Chinese restaurant, has been getting lots of buzz lately. 🍜It reminded me of my family’s Chinese restaurant in Kenya years ago. We served BBQ skewers, hot pot, even chive pockets—bringing a taste of northern China to people far from home. African chefs cooking Chinese food. What a memory.😘
